If Delphi is able to provide development of the system underlying, it is more cool. Delphi is still difficult to compete with VC, not a tool, not a tool, not a tool, not a language, but Borland does not master the operating system, and is subject to people. This is the result of the very cruel competitive strategy of MS. If Delphi6 is going to develop this and MS, then Delphi is probably a Borland C . Now, Delphi's development direction is clear, support Win and uncomfortable WIN, but also support Linux application development, The technological innovation, thanks, DBEXPRESS, 6 more add more support to Sun.one, but also cool. Support for SOAP, XML makes developers more convenient development distributed applications. If it is estimated, 6 should provide IDL2PAS mapping, then use 6 to develop Corba more cool. With Delphi6 (CBUilder) JBuilder4 Inprise Application Server (Visibroker), it is said to be a perfect solution to Fang An. A cross-platform, cross-language distributed development is truly realized.
There is also a little, Delphi, Kylix supports developers write Apache modules, which makes developers to add wings such as Tiger. From this point of view, now Borland's CEO is very strategic, believes that Borland will be better tomorrow.
